The divorces that made big bucks

Well we all know that attaining that celebrity status is pretty costly and has its own expenses. However we decided to take a look at the other side namely the side of life after marriage and an impending divorce. Through this article we look at some of the costliest celebrity divorces that will stay for a while to come.

Michael Jordan and Juanita Jordan:

Juanita and Michael were introduced to one another by a mutual friend at a Chicago Bennigan's restaurant in 1984. A few weeks later they met again at a party given by their friend. About six months later Juanita and Michael were dating one another on a regular basis.

Then on December 31, 1987 Michael proposed to Juanita at Nick's Fish Market in Chicago. Although she said yes, they decided to call off their engagement and wait for nearly a year before discussing marriage again.

Finally on September 2, 1989 in Las Vegas, Nevada at the Little White Wedding Chapel in the wee hours of the morning Michael and Juanita were married in a ten-minute ceremony. Michael gave Juanita a five-karat marquise diamond ring. There were four guests at their wedding.

In January 2002, Juanita filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences. One month later, hoping to reconcile, she withdrew the divorce petition. On December 29, 2006, citing irreconcilable differences yet again, the couple's lawyers announced their divorce.
